Finally Feeling Better.



Recommended Posts

Today I woke up feeling much better. I slept longer and ate a little more. My surgery was on monday and I was 246 now I am 234. My rings and jeans are feeling loose too. My kids say that they can tell the weight loss on my face. Things are looking good!!

Now I am just waiting for my incisions to heal and that will make a world of a difference.

It really helped to come on this forum and read words of encouragements. THANKS to all of you who respond!

Have a blessed day everyone!

Wow, look at you, congrats! You are wearing jeans? I seriously spent a week with no underwear on and sheer type nightgowns and I waited until my first surgeon appointment to attempt underwear and stretch pants (I had a drain removed at day 9).

Good luck healing, every single day is better than the day before!

thanks Mina! I was lucky not to have a drain. My incisions are no where near my waist line. honestly today was the first day I felt comfortable wearing a bra. At this rate I don't think my bras will be fitting me much longer hehe!

Fabulous NSV's! I loved the process of change as the weight came off. Every day does get a 100 times better. :)

Welcome sounds like you are doing well, I would recommend getting some yoga pants to wear around the house while you recover, I had a pair of black ones and I was able to wear them to work without looking to bad…LOL! Keep us posted on your progress.

some incisions are higher then others...mine were all in the upper area too. I was able to wear jeans right out too. everyone is right in saying that everyday gets better and better. I felt like the weight came off of my face the fastest too, which I loved. congrats on getting sleeved! :)

Yoga pants were my best friend for the first few weeks. Bra, not so much, only wore it when I left the house. Glad to hear you are doing well, you look fantastic!

Hey Crafty, so glad to hear you are feeling better. We were both on Monday. I stayed in hospital an extra night as I wasn't keep up the good work!

doing too well with swallowing and I had some extra procedures. I've been dressing exclusively tee shirt dresses. Very comfy. I'm still a little sore but have only taken pain med once. My only real issue is my left shoulder and chest area. It's like I have one big gas pocket.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
